🔐 Buga escape rooms

Play right here in the browser, or print a kit for the classroom, a party at home or an adult get-together. Every room has exact clues, clear answers and step-by-step progress.

First, choose a difficulty level

The story clues stay the same on every level; harder levels add more locks in between. You can ask for a hint at every stage.

How to run a printable escape room

  1. Choose a room by age and occasion: the audience, length and difficulty are on every room’s card.
  2. Play straight on the screen, or open the kit and print it: a facilitator sheet with the story and every answer, plus an A4 card for each stage.
  3. Hide the stage cards around the room so each answer leads to the next card, and read the opening story aloud.
  4. Start a timer. When a team gets stuck, give one hint at a time; the hints are graded and the first never gives the answer away.
  5. The last code opens a box or envelope with the prize: party bags, the cake, a certificate or whatever suits the occasion.

A printed escape room gives a party or a team day the feel of a real event without going anywhere. There are dozens of ready rooms here: for preschool, kids, teens, adults, the classroom and the Jewish holidays. Every room comes with clues, puzzles and a full answer sheet.

Choose a room by the age of the players, not only by difficulty: little ones get counting, colours and shapes; school-age kids get ciphers and sums; teens and adults get mysteries with suspects and real logic puzzles.

A practical tip: allow 15 to 45 minutes per room, as shown on its card, plus a few minutes to explain at the start. Groups bigger than six tend to create spectators, so it’s better to split into two teams that play side by side.
